North Branch Construction, Inc. of Concord has begun the construction of a Student Success Center on the campus of Great Bay Community College. This one-story, 20,000 s/f addition to the existing college will include a gymnasium, administrative offices, a student lounge, an exercise space, and locker rooms. The center will serve as a place for students to engage in leadership activities, develop teamwork, and encourage lifelong learning. The building will provide meeting space for student clubs and organizations, as well as serve as a location for the college in collaboration with the Seacoast community in hosting job fairs, conferences, and meetings.
This is North Branch's second time working on the Great Bay Community College campus - the firm completed major re-roofing and HVAC infrastructure upgrades to the building in 2007. JSA, Inc. of Portsmouth is providing design for the project, which will be completed in the summer of 2015.
